Police Treat Bremen Arson Claim as Credible as State Security Probes Attack on Kaefer

Authorities are investigating the blaze as politically motivated arson after deeming the online claim credible.

Overview

  • A security guard found two company vehicles ablaze and a stairwell fire at a training center in Bremen-Überseestadt during the night to Sunday.
  • No injuries were reported, and officials estimate material damage in the six-figure range.
  • Anonymously posted on a left-wing extremist platform, the claim names Kaefer and frames the attack as opposition to the nuclear and defense sectors.
  • Bremen’s interior senator Eva Högl and economic senator Kristina Vogt condemned the violence and emphasized risks to workers and public safety.
  • Police say the platform has hosted prior claims of offenses, and the Staatsschutz has opened a formal arson investigation.
